Very helpful and incredibly well done!. This is really a spectacular app and a dream come true if you’re a passionate birder or a professional ornithologist. As a birder, I haven’t found anything that comes close to this one in spite of spending time searching. The app is very comprehensive and goes into great length detailing essential features about each bird species you’ll find on a trip to Columbia. I love how easy and intuitive the app is, starting with the main page identifying a vast variety of species through beautiful images viewable as a gallery or by list. The app then does a great job at helping you narrow down each species with essential information and in-depth descriptions of the bird’s habits, size, features, habitat, and even its voice. The app even features high quality recording that lets you hear the sound of the bird you’re tracking. It also helps you find similar bird species in case you mistake a species for another.

Just a small correction. I wouldn't make too big an issue of this--with over 1800 birds a few errors of this kind are to be expected, to wit, the picture accompanying the entry for Hudsonian Godwit is actually an image of Black-necked Stilt. As I said, just a small correction.

Fails to perform. I had to buy this app twice, once for android and once for Mac. The Mac version will not open species accounts. Appears to be no way to reload to see if that solves the issue. No help otherwise.

Very helpful app for birding in Colombia.. Helped my out more than any field guide book would’ve.

Great App. Easy to use and to jump to a specific species quickly. Audio files for most species with sonograms. Excellent artwork for identification showing multiple variations for certain species.

Excellent app with detailed info about Colombia birds. I was hesitant to spend so much on an app but this app has extensive info about the birds of Colombia with songs/calls, maps, status info, habita, sim species and even sorting methods that let you narrow by endemics plus eng latin and spanish names. So worth it!

Excellent and comprehensive guide to birds in Colombia. I downloaded this app prior to visiting Medellin area. The bird database is very comprehensive and I was able to identify species quickly and easily using the identification feature of the app. This is definitely an app for people who seriously love birds.

Slow to open. The app is very nice in many ways but is very slow to open, which makes it difficult to use in the field. Each time you return to the app it takes more than five seconds to load. Compare this to the Sibley app, for example, which opens in less than a second. We noticed a few mistakes in the app: limpkin is misspelled as “limkpin”; the illustration of the Western Wood Peewee is incorrect; and some species are missing or need updating (eg., Antioquia Wren is missing).

Sound issue easily resolved. This app originally worked great on my old IPAD but with a recent IOS update (10.3.3) , the sound no longer plays. Not sure what the issue is as my other sounds work fine. UPDATE: thanks to the very prompt reply from Jessica the problem was easily fixed. I had inadvertently changed a setting on my IPAD. Totally my fault.

good features, and weaknesses. This series of bird guide apps has some excellent features, in particular the ability to select multiple species to compare. These will be displayed on the screen, and you can switch between showing their illustrations, their range maps, and their vocalizations (displaying the sonograms, or playing the songs and calls). However, there are some weaknesses. The illustrations are not as realistic or as attractive as those of the leading illustrators for South American field guides. Though there are illustrations of many races and plumages of each species, there seem to be none of birds in flight, which are the most important for raptors and others. One minor annoyance is that, once you choose a Family of birds, the species are listed in alphabetical order of the first name, which makes it much harder to use than if they were in taxonomic order. Nonetheless, it’s terrific to have an app for Colombian birds, and there is no alternative at the moment, so anyone going to Colombia to see birds (more species than any other country) needs to get this.

Bird Encyclopedia. I’m not much of a bird person, but I do enjoy learning something new about almost anything. With this app, I learned some things I didn’t even know about a few popular birds, in particular, penguins. I had no idea that there were more than one breed of penguins. You can learn about ways to identify different breeds of birds, learn about their habitat, their current status, and more. This app is extremely helpful and comes in handy for true bird lovers.

Excellent paintings. Very good photos and tons of supporting information for everyone of the 1700+ birds in Columbia. Very thorough well organized but still much slower to use for me than a bird book but I am pretty new to using Bird apps. Does not have filters for parts of the country. The author wrote one of a few excellent bird books about Columbia, but it’s out of print and cost $80 if you can find it.

Easy to use and very helpful. Even if you are just getting to know the birds in this area this app is very useful

detailed and a key part of the id arsenal. drawings can be more helpful than photos at times. the ability to sort by altitude is helpful. long lat would be a powerful next feature for the developers.

Great app. Very happy with this app. Easy to use. It is large, but has great information included.

Trip to CO in 3 weeks 2022. Quick and easy to find the groups of birds you wish to see. Just learning all the features and how to make trip list, like the note area as well. Like the side by side feature to show similar birds. Thanks, I told my Audubon trip group about it.

Amazing. I learned SO much from this app. I used it before my trip to Colombia and during; it was so worth it. It didn't have any glitches and is visually appealing. I definitely recommend this app for your trip or even just in general to learn about these amazing birds..

Thorough. This app is absolutely worth buying! This is a staple app that ever birder (or even just the average day curious person) needs on their phone. The best feature on the phone is the identify tab where you can find the type of bird you saw by what features you got a glimpse of (tail, beak, leg, feather color etc.). I genuinely can say it is one of the most detail oriented and thorough bird identification apps I have seen ever! Another great future is the log/diary part where you can record all the findings you have made. I highly recommend everybody try this app because after you experience all the cool features, you too will start to be fascinated by birds!

Expect the Book plates. The app is essentially the book. That’s not a bad thing but it does make comparing plates a bit cumbersome. Also, the filters by region are a bit weak. Overall, a great resource, especially if the alternative for you is carrying around the book. It’s best to have the app as a companion to the book but you won’t have to carry it all the time.

Best South America birding app yet. Let's hope that Sunbird makes a birding app for every South America country. User interface options are great, making it very easy to find species you are looking for. Presentation of information is intuitive, great sample of bird song and calls for each species. Range maps show surrounding countries as well, which is very useful. So much better than having to carry a book in the field. Only suggestion would be an option to swipe left or right to the next species in phylogenetic order, rather than having to go back to the family page to view the next bird.

Search mechanism needs to be updated. I had high hopes for this app, but found it difficult to use. It has an amazing catalogue of bird species with lots of useful information on each bird, but the search mechanism makes it difficult to find anything. A few changes would greatly improve the functionality. First , the filter mechanism should start with the most important and basic details, like bird size and primary overall colors. Second, as the user adds variables to the filter, it should narrow the choices, not expand them. The more specific the user is, the fewer choices they should see. The way it currently functions, if you put in 3 variables, you end up with over 1,000 options to search through, which will include birds of ALL sizes. It makes it impossible to identify birds you’re unfamiliar with.

Beautiful use of technology; Easy to use. I am a musician traveling to Colombia, so I was very excited to hear the many birdcalls recorded on this app. Initially the sound did not work on my iPhone 7. I ended up calling Dr Mullen, who very kindly explained how to resolve the issue. Toggle the ringer on/off switch! The illustrations are lovely. The interface is easy to navigate. Information presented clearly. Thank you from my heart for creating this digital window into the world of the birds.

Amazing!. This app has everything. You can identify birds based on what you see. But what really sets it apart is being able to hear the sounds the birds make. I have heard several birds from my apartment in Colombia that I can't see. Now I have a tool to try and figure out which bird it is. In the mean time, I'm learning a lot about the different kinds of birds here and the sounds they make. Extremely comprehensive.

Excellent search feature. Appreciate the intuitive search engine and ranking results be percent probability.

Absolutely fantastic. Such a good guide to the birds of Colombia! My only feedback would be (if such a thing is possible) to be able to search by your current location so you don’t end up attempting to identify a bird by looking at birds that aren’t in that region of the country. For a place like Colombia with SO many species to choose from, and where so m any of the birds are only found in one specific habitat type, it can be hard figuring which of the hundred+ flycatchers or hundred+ hummingbirds you’re looking at.

Excellent Resource. Very well designed app giving instant access to images and descriptions to the birds of Columbia. Much better than carrying a heavy bound paper guide in the field!

easy to use. the app is easy to use. some of the drawings are a little silly but they’re accurate so it’s fine.

Absolutely great!. Wow! This is an awesome app. It’s certainly the best resource on avian biodiversity of the region. The app really gains from being an app. Besides the detailed drawings it is also comprehensive as it has all the bird songs in it. The app is easy to use and contains all the information needed – and even more. With this app I feel well prepared for birding in Colombia.

Beautifully made. Even I'm still getting used to this app, I'm amazed with all the info it has. I'd love to have a little more detailed map, but with all the location info it's good enough. On a future version I'd love to have the option to add photos and videos

Very Helpful. The pictures and descriptions are very accurate- combinedWith the description of habitat and range I can fairly easily distinguish between similar species. The various calls and songs provided add a richness to my experience when I’m identifying these birds. Very satisfied with the Columbia guide as I have been with other Sunbird apps

Ecuador update?. Love the app but latest update mentions Ecuador, not Colombia. Just a typo or what?

Still using. It’s been eight years since I was in Colombia. I still use the app to try to figure out what some of the birds I saw were. It’s a great birding companion. Thanks!

Sunbirds: All Birds of Columbia. I am prepping for a trip to Columbia this winter. I have found the format to be both easy to use and helpful, as I work through several additional apps. I have noticed a few name changes that may need to be updated. Using other apps I can review pictures and confirm their real time locations. This app has been most helpful in giving me a better understanding of the bird species that this North American birder is not yet familiar with. I recommend this app. I have enjoyed working through and attempting to become familiar with the birds I hope to see on this trip.

Make your birding friends at home jealous. We had an extended stay in Colombia during lockdown and we really enjoyed using it for birdwatching. We are hopi g to use it more on an upcoming return trip to the coffee region.

Amazing!. Very helpful guide to Colombian birds! Very in-depth. Very detailed drawings and even includes bird songs for each bird. A must-have if birding in Colombia.

Can’t hear the bird song on my Iphone. The app looks great, but I can’t hear the bird songs on my IPhone. Any clue why?
